The Xbox 360 is somewhat more powerful but only because it has twice the RAM and a better memory bus and controller architecture that achieves higher data throughput.

The 360 also has a slightly better GPU as well. The PS3's graphics controller is just below a GeForce 7800.

Still, the graphics capability of the PS3 is virtually identical to the Xbox 360 with only a marginal drop in FPS on the PS3.

While the PS3 is slightly less powerful and doesn't have Halo 3, it does play BluRay movies, have a very high reliability record, a free Interweb browser, free online multiplayer service, and of course is a completely unlocked system (minus the GPU).]]>http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/258435-I-just-blew-my-360--/31a57d2f95c242bfb2649deb0020fe65#31a57d2f95c242bfb2649deb0020fe65

Bugs: There is a window re-drawing issue. When this issue occurs, just drag the window elsewhere on the screen or minimize then restore the window to properly re-paint the background image. I hope to have the re-painting problem largely diminished by the next
release.

﻿Hi..
can anybody help me??
my dos disk missing.. ive been searching for whole day to find my dos file .. where can i get it?? already dl from bootdisk.com but it just the bootdisk.. i want dos 6.22 disk.. the setup one.. please help me..
this is my email.. verilizerz@gmail.com.. until now, i only got boot disk.. not the (3) installer disk.. pleasee..

1) 21st Century???

Wasn't 6.22 the DOS bundled with Windows 3.1?

2) It took me 10 seconds to find a tracker with a MSDOS 6.22 torrent on Google. If your really that desperate there are ways, even if they arent legal.

﻿Don't confuse money changing hands with "trust". Even with large corporations buying Microsoft stuff, which tend to use "safe" technology (Nobody got fired for buying IBM), it's interesting to note that MS still only gets half that
market and still only 22% share overall. And we all know how aggressive MS can be.

I don't recall if it was NetCraft or not but the numbers are also skewed by just three organizations: Facebook, MySpace and one other (I forgot). Removing those three companies greatly diminishes IIS usage.

Yes, MySpace is a huge contributor to IIS's marketshare. I think it serves all the tens of millions of profile web pages.

I cannot wait until these technologies appear in *nix TS and VM solutions. It will literally change everything for users of alternative platforms.]]>http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/260474-Anybody-running-Vista-on-Leopard-Macbook-Pro/65a713b4f1234dcaa9399e31009ed696#65a713b4f1234dcaa9399e31009ed696

I believe the Windows port is just the libraries for supporting KDE applications on Windows, while the Mac OS X and OpenSolaris port are the full-environment?

I think you can get a full KDE experience on Windows but you have to deal with the Win32 Xserver/Cygwin mumbo jumbo.]]>http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/260423-KDE-41-Release-Schedule/5bf160dc88fd4c4785c89e31009d9cc6#5bf160dc88fd4c4785c89e31009d9cc6

Vista already introduces a different UI concept from it's predecessors.

Microsoft can't just go and radically alter the interface every release. End-users, especially buisnesses, expect conformity and a common interface with a minimal learning curve.]]>http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/260380-Windows-7-Ideas/79716ae2abec42899bb89e31009c2abc#79716ae2abec42899bb89e31009c2abc

But if you have Photoshop, just use that and that... it works everywhere too.

﻿It's nice to see the Linux guys catching up with what Windows and Mac development environments have had for 15 years.

Since when was QT a Linux-only API? Notice how its for Windows and OS X too.

Probably the biggest problem with Linux and FOSS UNIXs is that they have nothing to claim for themselves.

That is the side-effect of being both free, open source and having the least marketshare.]]>http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/260392-Another-nail-in-the-NET-coffin/80f76992148a4d59abc89e31009c924f#80f76992148a4d59abc89e31009c924f

If you cannot log off the terminal server because the taskbar and start menu is missing, create a shortcut on Linux and add this target command:

I've packaged together a set of software components that provides a seamless terminal solution to Fedora Linux users with access to capable Windows machines or virtual machines on the local system.

"Seamless" refers to the interaction of individual programs in their own, seperate windows and launching them from shortcut icons on the Linux desktop. This is contrast to a normal remote desktop sessions, where the full desktop is presented in a single window.

I've made RPMs for an enhanced, patched CVS version of rdesktop (RDP client), included Microsoft's Elevate Power Toy for Vista, Fontis IT's enhanced SeamlessRDP server and my small tray application and readme.

(Note): If local or remote access to a Windows machine is not possible, a virtual machine with host networking configured and a Windows guest operating system can be used in place of a physical system. The seamless terminal server should function the same
in a virtualized environment. This document does not describe how to configure a virtual machine.

* At least one computer installed with Fedora Linux. Although this software is capable of running on numerous distributions and other Unix-like operating systems this particular package has only been tested with 32-bit versions of Fedora and Windows. Users
of other distributions and operating systems may attempt to covert the RPM packages to the native package format of their distribution or operating system with tools like Alien.

(Note): Re-compiling the SRPM and SeamlessRDP components are necessary for 64-bit machines with 64-bit operating systems.

* Any sort of network or Internet connection for both the server and client. A simple 56K modem connection would be sufficient. Be aware that internal dial-up Winmodem support under Linux is poor at best; therefore, for most users, options are limited to
a hardware modem, wired Ethernet or wireless connectivity. The terminal server system may be accessed from a local or wide area network or via the Internet.

Enjoy.

If Linux developers started to realise that actually users having a good experience is
much more important than silly long-term grudges they might hold, or stop bickering about whether Linux ought to even allow programs not released under the GPL, they might actually
get some users.

They should get their act together and put in a single line at the top of their kernel:

if(VPC) then { don't use 24-bit color }

And until they do, normal users who just want their computer to work and who might want to try out that new and fangled "Linux thing" will be absolutely sure to not touch it if it doesn't
just work.

The only way this would be true is if the Xorg drivers for whatever video card Virtual PC virtualizes only supported up to 24 bit video mode.

That is a possible scenerio but it doesn't mean that Xorg fails to support 32 bits per pixel for other cards and drivers.

Depth depth This entry specifies what colour depth the Display subsection is to be used for. This entry is usually specified, but it may be omitted to create a match-all Display subsection or when wishing to match only against the FbBpp parameter. The range of depth values that are allowed depends on the driver. Most drivers support 8, 15, 16 and 24. Some also support 1 and/or 4, and some may support other values (like 30). Note: depth means the number of bits in a pixel that are actually used to determine the pixel colour. 32 is not a valid depth value. Most hardware that uses 32 bits per pixel only uses 24 of them to hold the colour information, which means that the colour depth is 24, not 32.

But, regardless of virtualisation or not, it's really, really dumb of Linux to still be defaulting to a display mode that is incredibly slow on most graphics cards (even those of the Win 95 era). That just makes no sense at all.

It doesn't.

As long as the video card and driver support 32 bit video mode, Xserver supports 24 bit color with the extra byte to align the color channels to 4 byte increments in memory, which is more efficent and therefore faster.

﻿The cursor in Ubuntu 7.04 does not work in Virtual PC. Ubuntu 6.10 does not have that problem. It has the 24-bit color issue, but that can easily be worked around. The mouse problem in 7.04 cannot be worked around.

As for why Virtual PC, it is free, it supports hardware virtualization and it is readily avaliable. I would really like to use a Virtual Machine that has all of that with SMP support as well.

I personally use Virtualbox and it supports Linux distros just fine with full 24 bit color and a seamless mouse (with guest additons). Virtualbox has a neat RDP server feature, where you can remotely access your virtual machine via terminal services client.
